ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for maintaining a water supply in a stand supporting a Christmas tree is provided. A rigid funnel body comprises integrally formed top, center, and bottom portions. The funnel has a frusto-conical cross-section that tapers from the top portion to the bottom portion. A flexible coupling is integrally formed between the portions of the funnel to hold them in a desired angular relationship. A light assembly is affixed to the top portion of the funnel. The light assembly includes a light source to indicate that the water supply in the stand has fallen below a desired minimum level. A float assembly is pivotally affixed to the bottom portion of the funnel and is coupled to the light assembly with a connecting member. The float assembly includes a float body that floats on the surface of the water supply to induce movement of the connecting member for energizing the light source.
